'''Orpheus TTS''' is an open-source [[text-to-speech]] (TTS) system developed by Canopy Labs and released in March 2025. Built on the [[Llama (language model)|Llama-3.2-3B]] architecture, it uses a novel approach of using large-language-models with audio tokens instead of traditional TTS-specific architectures.

== Development and Release ==

Orpheus TTS was developed by Canopy Labs, an artificial intelligence startup founded with the stated mission of creating "digital humans that are indistinguishable from real humans."<ref>https://canopylabs.ai/</ref> The code and model weights were publicly released on March 18, 2025, under the [[Apache License]] 2.0, making both the model weights and training code freely available.<ref>https://github.com/canopyai/Orpheus-TTS</ref>

== Technical Architecture ==

Orpheus TTS differs from conventional text-to-speech systems by using a modified Meta's Llama-3.2-3B language model as its foundation. It takes in a text prompt and generates audio tokens using the 24 kHz variant of the [[SNAC]] audio tokenizer. The system was trained on a dataset comprising over 100,000 hours of English speech data combined with billions of tokens of textual QA pairs, a hybrid approach designed to maintain linguistic understanding while adding speech synthesis capabilities.

The model supports streaming out-of-the-box and can achieve ~200 milliseconds of streaming latency.<ref>https://www.baseten.co/blog/canopy-labs-selects-baseten-as-preferred-inference-provider-for-orpheus-tts-model/</ref>

== Performance Claims and Evaluation ==

Canopy Labs claims that Orpheus TTS delivers "natural intonation, emotion, and rhythm that is superior to SOTA closed source models," positioning it as competitive with established commercial systems such as [[ElevenLabs]] and other proprietary text-to-speech services.<ref>https://huggingface.co/canopylabs/orpheus-3b-0.1-ft</ref>

However, these performance assertions are based primarily on internal evaluations and subjective assessments rather than standardized benchmarks or peer-reviewed studies. The lack of comprehensive comparative analysis with established TTS systems has led to some skepticism within the research community about the extent of its claimed superiority.

== Model Variants ==

The model is available in three variants:

* '''Pretrained model''': The base model trained on the full dataset, suitable for research and custom fine-tuning
* '''Fine-tuned production model''': An optimized version designed for everyday TTS applications, fine-tuned on several voices
* '''Multilingual model''': A family of fine-tuned models with support for other languages
